Barrel-Aged Stout and Selling Out
Goose Island opened as a family-owned Chicago brewpub in the late 1980s, and it soon became one of the most inventive breweries in the world. In the golden age of light, bland and cheap beers, John Hall and his son Greg brought European flavors to America. With distribution in two dozen states, two brewpubs and status as one of the 20 biggest breweries in the United States, Goose Island became an American success story and was a champion of craft beer. Then, on March 28, 2011, the Halls sold the brewery to Anheuser-Busch InBev, maker of Budweiser, the least craft-like beer imaginable. The sale forced the industry to reckon with craft beer's mainstream appeal and a popularity few envisioned. Josh Noel broke the news of the sale in the Chicago Tribune, and he covered the resulting backlash from Chicagoans and beer fanatics across the country as the discussion escalated into an intellectual craft beer war. Anheuser-Busch has since bought nine other craft breweries, and from among the outcry rises a question that Noel addresses through personal anecdotes from industry leaders: how should a brewery grow?
Agriculture's Ethical Horizon
The second edition of Agriculture's Ethical Horizon is a carefully considered application of philosophical concepts, such as utilitarianism and positivism, to the practice of agricultural science. Author Robert Zimdahl argues for an approach to agriculture guided by foundational values, and addresses the questions: What are the goals of agricultural and weed science? What should their goals be? How do and how should the practitioners of agriculture address complex ethical questions? This book engages students, researchers, and professionals across disciplines including horticulture, soil and plant science, entomology, and more, all without requiring a background in philosophy. It examines to...
Hatch's Guide to Porters, Stouts, and Barleywines
Porter, stout, barleywine, and black ale styles have served mankind for centuries and are the main very dark, very malty beers brewed around the world. Today we have many variations of these old styles, including those augumented with fruit, chocolate, barrel-aging, and other flavors. Mr. Hatch provides detailed descriptions of the styles and substyles with reviews of numerous labels under each category. At 196 pages this dark beer guide is larger than most books covering all beer styles. Written by the secretive BrewBase panel, these reviews are full of history, humor, and sometimes very frank opinions. Each brew is rated on a 5-bottle system with 5.0 being perfect. Awards of Merit are given to exceptional, more-than-perfect labels.
Beer School
BEER SCHOOL Beer School Bottling Success at the Brooklyn Brewery What do you get when you cross a journalist and a banker? A brewery, of course. “A great city should have great beer. New York finally has, thanks to Brooklyn. Steve Hindy and Tom Potter provided it. Beer School explains how they did it: their mistakes as well as their triumphs. Steve writes with a journalist’s skepticism—as though he has forgotten that he is reporting on himself. Tom is even less forgiving—he’s a banker, after all. The inside story reads at times like a cautionary tale, but it is an account of a great and welcome achievement.” —Michael Jackson, The Beer Hunter “An accessible and insightful case...

Biomass Energy Profiles
Overzichtsstudie over de eigenschappen als brandstof van verschillende brandstoffen die uit land- of bosbouwprodukten worden geproduceerd (waterstof, biogas, alcohol, plantaardige olie en vaste brandstoffen uit biomassa) met een overzicht van de tot nu toe bekende produktieprocessen en van informatiebronnen zoals gecomputeriseerde gegevensbestanden over dit onderwerp
The Literature of Agricultural Engineering
The second of a seven-volume series, The Literature of the Agricultural Sciences, this book analyzes the trends in published literature of agricultural engineering during the past century with emphasis on the last forty years. It uses citation analysis and other bibliometric techniques to identify the most important journals, report series, and monographs for the developed countries as well as those in the Third World.
Introduction to Biomass Energy Conversions
Introduction to Biomass Energy Conversions explores biomass energy conversions and characterization using practical examples and real-world scenarios. It begins with biomass resource estimation and extends to commercialization pathways for economical biomass conversion into high-value materials, chemicals, and fuels. With extended discussions of new sustainability issues in biofuels production, such as carbon capture and sequestration, the second edition has been updated with carbon footprint work life cycle analysis, the growing circular economy, and newer research directions of biomass resources, such as graphene production from biochar. This book covers thermo-chemical conversion processes, including torrefaction, pyrolysis, gasification and advanced gasification, biomass liquefaction, and combustion. This book is intended for senior undergraduate students taking Renewable Energy Conversions, Bio Energy, Biomass Energy, Introduction to Biofuels, and Sustainability Engineering courses. This book also features end-of-chapter problems, exercises, and case studies with a Solutions Manual available for instructors.
